  • Patent number: 12249144
    Abstract: A cleaning wizard monitors and provides feedback for cleaning of medical equipment to ensure that cleaning is performed based on best practices. The cleaning wizard receives a video stream comprising an item of medical equipment and inputs a first set of video frames from the video stream into a first machine learning model. The first machine learning model is trained to output whether the first set of video frames corresponds to activity that initiates a cleaning protocol for the item of medical equipment. Responsive to the cleaning protocol being initiated, the cleaning wizard inputs a second set of video frames into a second machine learning model trained to output whether the second set of frames meets criteria of the cleaning protocol. Responsive to all criteria of the cleaning protocol being met, the cleaning wizard transmits a notification to an operator that the cleaning protocol is complete.

  • Patent number: 12205722
    Abstract: A diagnosis system trains a set of machine-learned diagnosis models that are configured to receive an image of a patient and generate predictions on whether the patient has one or more health conditions. In one embodiment, the set of machine-learned models are trained to generate predictions for images that contain two or more underlying health conditions of the patient. In one instance, the symptoms for the two or more health conditions are shown as two or more overlapping skin abnormalities on the patient. By using the architectures of the set of diagnosis models described herein, the diagnosis system can generate more accurate predictions for images that contain overlapping symptoms for two or more health conditions compared to existing systems.

  • Patent number: 12171496
    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed herein for detecting eye alignment during retinal imaging. In an embodiment, the system receives an infrared stream from an imaging device, the infrared stream showing characteristics of an eye of a patient. The system determines, based on the infrared stream, that the eye is improperly aligned at a first time, and outputs sensory feedback indicative of the improper alignment. The system detects, based on the infrared stream at a second time later than the first time, that the eye is properly aligned, and receives an image of a retina of the properly aligned eye from the imaging device.

  • Patent number: 12011261
    Abstract: A fully autonomous system is used to diagnose an ear infection in a patient. For example, a processor receives patient data about a patient, the patient data comprising at least one of: patient history from medical records for the patient, one or more vitals measurements of the patient, and answers from the patient about the patient's condition. The processor receives a set of biomarker features extracted from measurement data taken from an ear of the patient. The processor synthesizes the patient data and the biomarker features into input data, and applies the synthesized input data to a trained diagnostic model, the diagnostic model comprising a machine learning model configured to output a probability-based diagnosis of an ear infection from the synthesized input data. The processor outputs the determined diagnosis from the diagnostic model. A service may then determine a therapy for the patient based on the determined diagnosis.

  • Patent number: 11880976
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided herein for minimizing retinal exposure to flash during image gathering for diagnosis. In an embodiment, a system captures a plurality of retinal images of different retinal regions. The system determines that a first portion of a first image does not meet a criterion while a second portion of the first image does meet the criterion, identifies a portion of the retina depicted in the first portion that does not meet the criterion, and determines whether the portion of the retina is depicted in a third portion of a second image and whether the third portion meets the criterion. Responsive to determining that the third portion meets the criterion, the system performs the diagnosis. Responsive to determining that the portion of the retina is not depicted in the second image, the system captures an additional image of the retinal region.
